1932 Map of Caribou
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Aroostook River curves through this agricultural region of northern Maine, anchoring the commercial centers of Caribou and Washburn. This 1929 survey, updated in the early 1940s, reveals a landscape defined by an exceptionally dense network of rural schools, including the Westmanland Sch, Lundgren Sch, and Snowman Sch, reflecting the community-based social structure of the era. The Bangor and Aroostook RR connects various outposts like New Sweden Sta and PO and Ben Thomas Siding, serving as the primary artery for the region's timber and potato industries. Beyond the valley floors, prominent peaks like Capitol Hill and Gelot Hill rise above the drainage of the Little Madawaska River. A notable modern addition to the landscape is the Municipal Airport just north of Caribou, signaling the transition toward mid-century transportation infrastructure.
